Brother

[Verse 1]
Now here is a quick story that I'd like to tell
Check the clock it was good timing
In the rearview things seem closer then they appear
Car pulled over at around 4oclock
Jumped out rang the door bell
Sweat dripped down the back like the sun was shinning
Knew that I was in a good position
Door opened and standing in front of me
Could it be yes it was Heaven how you been
Haven't seen you in a minute friend
And I've been dreaming of the day we would reconnect
They said you died and your soul left your body
Well as far as I'm concerned you are still with me
And those I know that never got to meet you
In the physical human form they can see you
Twenty five years old spirit like a lion
Running wild well then again that was me
That which I saw in you

[Chorus]
And although you're not in your body
You are still with me
Your soul my brother soul
Did all I knew how to
And turning the clock back
Not sure would change anything

[Verse 2]
From Florida to California
Kept in touch with you
But I had my own issues
So I wished you the best
You said not to keep my eggs
All in the same basket
Well now I ask this
Can a brother be a branch to a tree
That's holding space for all humanity
Humbling the heart with
A childhood memory
Walking across the back yard
Sitting in the swing with my eyes closed
Eyes open colorful light bursting
Jumping off landing
Two feet upon the ground
A tent for us to camp in
Stare directly in your eyes
Daze off in the horizon
As if we where the same entity
Equal exchange simple and plain
Hand shake time leave
Maybe see you again
Up the stairs through the backdoor
Out the front sat back in the vehicle
Drove off what a rush

[Chorus]
And although you're not in your body
You are still with me
Your soul my brother soul
Did all I knew how to
And turning the clock back
Not sure would change anything

[Verse 3]
Waking up from a dream like that
So vivid Foggy bits mixed with crystal clear pieces
Saw my brother but I wondered who he was
Sitting up in my bed now wide wake
Call it creation the ever changing
Sunset lights on but it seemed vacant
Well that's amazing when freedom is escaping
And dream time becomes waking life
Now make a toast to the most highly incredible
Feeling of knowing that love is something beyond
A written down painted picture on a wall
Classic never been done
The effortless sweet words under your tongue
A vision so pure the measurement
Who poured the medicine
Kept me on a course
And always on that regimen
A radical outcast on an escapade
In this dreamscape we keep each other safe

[Chorus]
And although you're not in your body
You are still with me
Your soul my brother soul
Did all I knew how to
And turning the clock back
Not sure would change anything
